Wow a year off.

Wow a year off.

Holy Crap, i just noticed that I haven't blogged on here in over a year. I guess thats what happens when you get a "real" job, even though I am posting this from my "real" job at the moment.

I'm sure something cool and exciting has happened during these 365+ days but hell if I can remember. I still game regularly, but have now taken a new approach to games that seems to be working nicely. I ONLY play one at time, till I beat or determine that I don't want to beat it. And its been working. Heavenly Sword, Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, Assassins Creed, Mass Effect, Super Mario Galaxy are all games that benefited from my new approach.

I'm playing SSBB pretty steady since launch and very happy that recently I have had success joining random fights. The game is very addicting and the fan service is golden. The Subspace Emissary is OK but I enjoy the cut scenes. My only gripe with the game (there are probably plenty more but all I can think of right now) is Ike. I like him a lot but EVERYONE picks him online, thus making him the "Ugh" guy. Feeling my need not to conform I chose not to play as him online, thus leading to me getting pwned. Such is gaming. I actually have a back up of games for Wii I have to play, like RE:UC, No More Heroes & Zack & Wiki. I've been slacking on Wii since beating Galaxy. So now I'm making up for lost time.

RE:UC is great! I don't care about the reviews. If you like arcadey on rails shooters and like RE series, go out and get it now, thats all there is too it. I literally just started NMH, but from what I can tell so far is that the game is going to be fun to play. Slicing dudes with the the poor man's lightsaber is fun and I'm glad wii remote gestures are saved for pulling off final attacks. Suda 51 definitely does disappoint. Although riding your motorcycle sucks something awful. Zack & Wiki is another game I "red headed step-childed." First of all, the game is absolutely fantastic. ITs a hidden gem in with all the crappy party games and PS2 ports. Point and click games are pretty much extinct on consoles, but this game is one of the best I ever played. It just so happens I don't play it more than it deserves. The puzzles are tough and thought prevoking and the art is funny and spot on.

My 360 playing days are pretty mu ch numbered right now. I still need to get into COD4, but my play time is usually 4 player SPlit screen deathmatches. I played about an hour of the campaign total since Xmas. I've lost interest in Bioshock and The Orange Box (after beating Portal) I think Half-Life 2 is vastly overrated - there I said it and TF2 is bat shit nuts and doesn't ease you into anything - its like if your not good at it, don't even bother, so I don't.

I actually managed to turn my PS3 on for gaming! Heavenly Sword & Uncharted have to be 2 games with the finest script and VO work I played in a long time, and yea they are good too! haha. I actually want Hot Shots Golf: OB and plan on getting it tonight.

OH yeah I've been playing Prof. Layton for DS and god-damn it makes me feel extraordinarily dumb! But I'll save that for a new post.
